This was very interesting to read about, thank you. In the United States, we all consider Finland to be extremely progressive, and ahead of us in many ways. So this was odd to hear. Even my American friends who have been in the military have told me about visiting real therapists while on base.

I don't know many military details (as a woman i didn't have to go there) but i know my brother talked to a psychologist there many times and they helped him (we're in finland)
